Building out image support

I am adding image support to the new editor.

Content

I'm working on a bunch of content for the audience blog, The first set will be all about email delivery, how to improve it, spam and bounces and how email actually works.

Fix the waitlist

Bit a bug on the waitlist signup. It's a bug no more!

Design time

Putting a bit of planning around my ideas for automation and custom fields and how they will fit together.

DB design

Designing database changes so I can support custom fields on subscribers.

Bug fixes

A random mix of some bugs that have been sitting in the back log.

Writting some blog posts

Can't publish a blog post if I don't write it first. A lesson I have found!

Publish blog post

Published a new post all about building a new editor for audience. With some thoughts and ideas of what the new editor could be.

Export HTML

I've added an export option to the new editor I'm working on, this will just dump the email as HTML into a file for me to use in other places.

Send test email

The new editor prototype can now send an email to myself, I think that's the best way to test it all, instead of scheduling it, I can just send it over to myself.

Add title to the photo full screen

Shows the full image on a page. Adds the title to the top of the page and added a link to take you back to the home page.

A bit of blogging

I wrote a first draft, and now I've revised it and I think it's better after that but now I want to add a few more sections, so it might be a while yet....

Editor Prototype time

New year, new editor. I'm going to start by building it out as a prototype. There are a few things I want to try and see if I can do.

Photo full screen

I've added the click an image and view it in full-screen bit.

Update featured images

Set the featured photographs so they come from the new sync DB. The images are coming from the CDN.

Build a sync tool

I wanted a small tool so that once I've done my post processing I can sync my photographs into a CDN and have the links available for my photography site.

Start work on the new editor

I want to try and build out a new editor for Audience, so I'm going to create it as a prototype, I can experiment and try different things that way.

Writing some blog posts

I've started working on a few new posts on the blog, a few are round-up posts for a few things I've found interesting,

Another is all about Audience and what's coming next or what's coming in 2023

Update the new email create screen

It now shows you a list of templates to pick from, you can open the template in the email editor, the HTML or MJML versions.

Building the new templates menu

Updating how you can select the templates, and create emails.

This has been on the todo list for a while.
